The Bumblebee Flies Anyway (1999)

Great little film, very well acted- interesting concept

[9/10 · 3 February 2002]

I saw this movie because I think Elijah Wood is a very talented very underrated actor, and I was very impressed with the film as a whole! Sure a few lines are a little cheesy, and at times a low budget is evident- but really not important at all! The concept of the film I think is not only intriguing and thought provoking, but brave as many people would find it controversial. The parallels of Barney and Mazzo are subtle enough to be great, and effective. Th performances are very good in this film, especially Elijah Wood, perhaps his best to date (w/ the possible exception of LOTR) and Janeane Garofalo as well, who I love in comedies, was great as a caring doctor, she should do more drama. Overall a well acted , interesting film, recommended
